There are so many new things happening in 2013 at Copic that we just can't hold back our excitement!

• In less than two weeks we will be kicking off our new Color & Ink Workshop at CHA. There's still time to register, but space is limited, so sign up now on the Copic Website.

• This year at CHA we will be expanding our fabulous line of X-Press it adhesives. Stop by our booth to see our new glue, glue markers, and double-sided adhesive sheets, along with all of our other fabulous rolls of double-sided tape and foam tape.

• We will be showcasing a lot of new marker sets, including our new 3pc. Sketch blending group sets. These are a great way for beginners to start their collection, with markers that go together beautifully.

To celebrate all the excitement, we are having a fun blog hop among our designers, and giving away a fun prize pack. Each prize pack will include an assortment of 3 markers from one of our Limited Edition 25th Anniversary sets (fine nib on one side, super brush on the other end). You also get one roll of our X-Press It 1/4in. high-tack tape, and a roll of our exclusive 1/4in. foam tape.

Leave a comment on this post no later than this Friday, Jan 4th at noon. I will announce the winner on Friday afternoon. Then hop over to each of the other wonderful Copic designers for a chance to win. Each blog will give away their own prize, so you have 8 chances to win!!

I know I'm a day late in announcing the winner of the blog candy; but the weekend just zipped so stinkin' fast. My husband & son were away at a men's retreat (having a blast, I might add); so it was just me, Abbi, and one of her friends left to paint the town red. We really did have a FUN weekend, as did the boys. Hope you did as well!

Okay, enough blabber from me! On to the winner...

There were exactly 100 comments on that post...pretty cool,eh? Random.org chose the winner as follows:

Keep doing what you are doing, Cindy! I am a Copic newbie so I would especially enjoy reading about how you pick your marker colors...and maybe even what you feel are the essential "starter" colors. Thanks!

Thanks to all who played along, and for all of your comments and thoughts regarding what you'd like to see on my blog in the future. I promise to give each of them serious consideration as I plan out future posts.

How are you on this fine Monday? I am doing terrific! It is my daughter's first "official" day of summer vacation; so we are going to have a girls day together. My son has one more week of school, and then we'll be in full summer mode in our house. I just love summer, don't you? :)

Today, the Stampers Dream Team and friends have gotten together for another fun blog hop. I can't wait to see everyone's fabulous creations!

For my card, I chose one of JustRite's newest Christmas sets, Merry and Bright. This one's a cling set that coordinates perfectly with Spellbinders 2010 Ornaments Dies. The card layout is one I turn to time and time again...just love it! The card size is 5-1/2" x 3-1/4". I also happen to really love the clean and simple look of white-on-white. The only other color paper I added is a strip of pretty plaid from Crate Paper's Toy Box Pad. I colored the ornament in using Copic markers, and added some pretty sparkle with Sakura's Clear Stardust Gelly Roll Glitter Pen.

Here's a close-up view:

The picture really doesn't do the sparkle justice! I added some pretty Gold Metallic String, Red Rhinestones, and a Martha Stewart punched border to finish things off. The background was done with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Here are the marker colors that I used:Next up you'll want to check out the rest of the fantastic blogs on this hop!

It might just interest you to know that one of the blogs on this hop has hidden blog candy! That means if you leave a comment on each blog, you'll have lots of chances to win some fabulous free products! Stop back by the Stampers Dream Blog on Thursday, the 16th, to see who the lucky winner is.

Here we are on the very last day of November...just one month left of 2010. What are your plans for this last month of the year? Let me take a wild guess...shopping, decorating, wrapping, baking, eating, visiting, partying, eating, working, sleeping, and oh yeah, eating. Was I close? haha Seriously, though, this time of year goes sooo quickly, doesn't it? I hope you will spend some time reflecting on the things that are truly important in this life, and take time out of your busy schedule to just "be". I am determined to do that this year. :)

Today's sample is a fun card showcasing an adorable Christmas mouse. I found this idea on Kim Score's amazing blog. You can find complete instructions for making the mouse out of punches right HERE. I had SUCH fun making this! :)

Here is MaryAnn's comment:

Wow, how is
this for inspiration! Love the layout or sketch and love the fact that this
could be a make a bunch in a hurry type card. Of course I wouldn't do it the
justice you do, but love to try. Thanks Cindy and thanks for a chance to win
too.
